T all whom it may concern Be it"known that I, HARRY L. Bor'nron,

fa-citizen of the United States, residing at Portland, in the county ofMultnomah and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Shaving- Brushes, of which the following is a specifilitcation. l

My invention relates to brushes that are used for producing lather onthe face preparatory to shaving, and has for its object to provide adevice of this kind that will contain soap-paste in the handlewhich iscomposed of a hollow cylinder and a screwcap attached to the end of saidhandle.

Further objects and advantages of my in-.

cylinder and registers with slot 4 of plunger 5.. Adjacent the topportion of cylinder 2, is an annular rib' 6, which prevents longitudinalmotion of cap 7 and ring 8, respectively. Firmly secured to cap 7, is ascrew 9, which passes through a threaded aperture in plunger 5 andserves to press said plunger downwardly and thus force soap-paste l0,

- into tube 11 from whence said soap'paste till spreads outwardly(toward the direction otthe arrows) into bristles 12, where it is.converted into lather by coming in contact with water, which isapplied-to said bristles. C

In order to operate my invention it is first necessary to insertsoap-paste 10 into cylinder 2 and place plunger 5 within said cylinder,above said soap-paste and turn screw 9 into said plunger until shoulder13 of cap 7 comes into contact with rib 6, after which ring 8 is passedover bristles 12, and over the outside of cylinder 2 and screwed intocap 7 until shoulder 1% of said ring contacts 7 tipc cificationofLetters Patent.

with said rib 8. To press the soap-paste downwardly, cap 7 and ring 8,(which is screwed thereto) must be rotated, which causes. plunger 5 toforce the soap-paste through tube 11, from whence said paste spreadsoutwardly into bristles 12 which are then moistened and lather producedby rubhing them on the face. The spline 3 registers with slot l andprevents plunger 5 from revolving within the cylinder, which revolutionwould prevent said plunger from downvxard travel when the screw isturned.

My invention may be constructed of any material and made of any sizedeemed suitable for all the requirements of such a device, and while Ihave described and illus traled a preferred form of construction andcombination of elements deemed suitable for all the requirements forsuch a device, I desire to include in this application all mechanicalequivalents and substitutes that may be fairly considered to come withinthe scope and purview of my invention as de.

fined in the appended claim.

Having thus fully described my invention so that others skilled in theart which appertains may be enabled to construct and use the same, whatI claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

' In a device of the character described, a hollow cylinder adapted toreceive soappaste, a delivery tube tastened to one end or said cylinder,an annular rib on the outward surface and adjacent the end of saidcylinder remote from the bristles, said bristles being attached to thecylinder adjacent the delivery tube, a spline fastened within saidcylinder in longitudinal relation thereto, a plunger with a verticalslot therein to register with said spline and prevent said plunger fromcircular motion, a screwthreaded cap with an annular shoulder formingpart thereof revolubly mounted on one end of said cylinder ascrew-threaded ring passing over the outside surface of the cylinder andregistering with said cap, an annular shoulder integral with said. ring;the shoulder of said cap and ring contacting with the horizontalsurfaces of said annular rib,-the .pwardly projecting portion of saidshoulder registering with the periphery of said rib to prevent lateraland longitudinal ,plunger which forces the soap-paste into Witnesses:

motion of said cap and ring, a screw firmly l In testimony that I claimthe foregoirig fixed to said'cap and passing through as my own, Ihereunto affixmy signature in to tlgll-ealded aperture in the plun eli1and opera the presence of two subscribing W tnnsee!- a e y the circu armotion 0 t e cap an f 5 ring for the purpose of actuating said HARRY B Ysaid delivery tube and from thence into said PETER HABERLIN, I bristles,substantially as described. 7
